    Hell no. The only thing HoF worthy was his chicken dance and all the riots he's caused in the ring.

    Nope. He folds in big matches.

    I would say Judah has a fair shout. He won a LWW title, became undisputed WW champ and then won another title at LWW.
    I always felt Judah would beat Tsyzu 9 times out of 10 but was unlucky that one time.

    Hell no, but he's still much more worthy than Margarito.

    He'll be known as a good fighter, but that's as far as it's going to go. Unless he does some major feats before he close out his career.

    Not a ****ing chance. If beating Cory Spinks gets you into the HOF then it's been rendered meaningles.

    Seriously - not even close.

    Yes.

    Undisputed WW champ
    noted 140 champ
    Excellent amateur
    Fought the best in every division he was in.

    If he can manage to become the 140 unified champ he would solidify his HoF chances IMHO

    This, but he doesn't need to do anything else to solidify his chances. He WILL be in the HOF if he retires today.

    No. Very few notable wins, but his being the undisputed champ is a plus. However, no notable defenses of the title either.
